One of the things I loved about the Banjo-Kazooie/Tooie games was the variety of challenges you had to solve to get a Jiggy. I loved the challenges that took a lot of thinking to solve, such as having to get the batteries to the power terminals in Grunty Industries. There were fun mini-game styled ...

DISCLAIMER: This thread is intended solely for constructive criticism, NOT trolling or provocation. Having played on Yooka-Laylee a while - I haven't beaten it yet but am certainly progressing through it at a good lick - there's certainly a lot RIGHT with it. However, like many on this forum I can'...

By the way: When I think about it, I wish them to be done with Yooka soon and move on to the next project. They should still develop DLC, that I agree with, but they should save their funds and not do the orchestral score, it doesn't make too much sense to patch this back in. It would be fine, yes,...

Yeah, they should really reduce the scope of the next game if it brings bigger polish. Whenever I describe Rare to someone, I say that they matched and even surpassed Nintendo's own quality in games. Not sure I'd go quite that far, but you're certainly right about the polish. Smaller but more polis...

Now that Y-L is done, I hope they'll do a non-platform game before launching into a sequel.That way, they can look at the genre afresh and see objectively what does and doesn't work in their first game.

You’re probably right. That might be a good way to avoid most comparisons and start fresh. Maybe it’s just the Banjo fan in me that wants a critically acclaimed big 3D platformer right away. It’ll certainly bring some advantages if they do it later, too. Like having a bigger company and more capaci...

I'd say there are three things to bear in mind with hate, specifically with regards to Y-L: 1) In this day and age, everyone can and will have an option on anything. Moreover, they will go out of their way to manufacture outrage: did anybody really give a toss about Neogaf either way before it came ...

Hard to say, I’d argue that they should immediately start developing a sequel to Yooka, with all the experience and criticism they earned with this. I think they can make a great sequel if they rely on their strengths and streamline a lot of things - while being a bit more confident with what they’...

* Sounds like they already are planning for their second game.* It will likely be a different genre than YL.* They have a very close relationship with Nintendo and Unity. This could be a hint of things to come.

There was an AMA on reddit yesterday and apparently they have more than one project in mind and they "don't want to limit [themselves] to any genre or size of game", though they haven't gone into details. When asked if they would consider working with Nintendo in a new DKC title they said...

The day has come: Yooka-Laylee is out on all systems; barring the occasional patch here and there, that's the end of the company's first game. So once the team have recovered/gone on holiday, what comes next? * Perhaps they'll want to diversify their portfolio and jump into a totally different genre...
